I just upgraded to Pages 5.0 and discovered no more Page Layout templates or functions. I really need to downgrade back to 4.8 to have this restored, I use it all the time in my business instead of InDesign because it is so perfectly tuned to what I do and how I think. Please suggest how to downgrade.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
Pages 4.8 never existed so I gather you mean Pages 4.3. Take look in the Application folder. You might still hae it there. At least if you originaly installed iwork from a dvd. I am not sure what happens to Pages 4.3 installed from the MacAppStore.

Thanks Fruhulda, yes my typo on 4.8, it's actually 4.3. And, yes, based on your welcome post, I could restore 4.3 (or Pages 09) from Applications>iWork>Pages was still there. So I swapped it back to the Dock and removed Pages 5.0, as well as the other new (Oct 22 2013) iWork apps. If Pages is so bad, maybe Keynote and Numbers are degraded, too. I'll work later on figuring that out and just play it safe for now by not using those.
Pages 5 has lost a lot of the page layout features. It seems stripped down to better work with the iOs version. In my opinion the apps should have a another name instead of Pages.
What if I downloaded it from the Mac App store?? How can I get Pages 4.3 back? I hate 5.0!
P.S. All that is in my applications folder is the iWork '09 trial which requires a key. But I did purchase Pages '09.
If you purchased it from the App store, it was overwritten when you updated to Pages 5. Your only recourse now is either a backup (please tell me you have a complete backup - preferably a clone and/or Time Machine) or a friend with the DVD version.
Try setting up an appointment at an Apple store to have them put it back. After all- you bought it and they broke it.
Paddy, are you sure. New upgrade don't overwrtie older versions. The old PAges 09 should be in the Application folder > iWork
I'm not entirely sure, as I upgraded from a version installed from DVD. However, I've seen several people reporting in other Pages threads , including one just a few minutes ago, that they did not have an iWork '09 folder and the older apps after updating apps downloaded individually from the App Store. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5471996 - see 2nd post on second page (last post at the moment).
I bought Pages '09 and Keynote '09 but not Numbers, wen I downloded the upgrade for Pages and Keynote I all so bought Numbers in the mac appstore. Wen I opened iwork '09 folder to restore, Numbers wasn't there! how can I restore Numbers to the '09 version?
You can't really expect that you should have the Numbers 09 in the folder when you never bought it! It isn't a free application.
It sounds to me that you have bought the Number 3.0 and that version will not land in the iWork folder but in the application folder just like the Pages 5.0 and Keynote 6.0
Numbers 09 is version 2.0.5
Thanks abut that, But when can I downgarde to the previous version?
You can't.
You didn't own it previously, so there is no downgrade option, save going and buying the physical disk and installing from that. Amazon.com are still selling it for a very reasonable $26.99 if you live in the US. In Canada it's $34.99 and in the UK it's £37.40. There are no doubt some on eBay and elsewhere as well.
How do I recover Pages 4.8 - Page Layout?
